Today's Ride

[KayOs]

Finally got to try the new Gravelbike.
Enjoyed it more than I thought but not as much as I would like.

Fellbacher Lämmler for those in the know

An evening ride of 66km, benefitting from the autumnal temperatures here in Qatar ("only" 32deg and 65% humidity). Good to stretch the legs a bit and work out. Took the Infinito C2C. Not elderly by the standards of this forum, but a good 10-15 years older than the rest of the bikes in the peloton around me.

Beautiful woodland. Interesting car shell, too.

I really like how light it is, how it accelerates, how fast it is, and yet how well it handles light terrain.
But the gearing is too long for me. I do not need a bike which I can pedal at 80km/h downhill but that I can not pedal up steep hills without pain in my knees (I know, one can quickly change that).

But what I am really no longer into are drop bars. For me they only have disadvantages and their advantages I can not really use.

So the bike will leave me again sooner or later.
Just not my cup of tea.

On colorful bikes through the colorful autumn.
(Yes I know it goes more garish but for me the bikes are already very colorful)
